Terri Mansfield, one of the key witnesses in the Phoenix Lights Documentary, graciously offered to host the cast party at her Paradise Valley home on Sunday March 13th, 2005. The party started around 10am and lasted through lunch.

Many people showed up with their spouses and friends. Some of those who attended included Charlie and David Balogh from CSETI, Frances Barwood and her husband Michael, Chuck Byers, Jim Dilettoso, Doc Gibson, Trudy and Fred Guyker, Dr. Lynne Kitei and her husband Frank, Mike Krzyston, Joan Mortensen, John and Cynthia Robinson, Dr. Gary Schwartz, Dr. Alvin Swimmer, Michael Tanner, Wendy Miller from Newszap Magazine, Dr. Howard and Nancy Shulman (my mom and step-dad), my wife Fran and myself.

It was a beautiful morning and Terri was a perfect host. She presented a wonderful assortment of appetizers and drinks. The air was filled with excitement as everyone anticipated seeing their faces projected on a large theater screen. There were many discussions about the film and the Phoenix Lights event. Everyone shared their stories and the party seemed to fly by. It wasn't long before we were all heading off to Harkins Shea 14 Theatre for the world premiere. I had bats in my stomach wondering what may potentially go wrong!
